Chapter 288 Internal Fight

The robbers who were celebrating with alcohol in Yingchao Ridge did not know that they were surrounded by others.

After escaping from Qinghefang that day, Cheng Yilong and his men slowed down their pace when they saw that no one was chasing them from Qinghefang. In addition, Song Qingming and his men took unexpected measures to catch them off guard. They rushed to the mountain for more than ten days, and arrived here two days later than they set out earlier.

In addition, the traitor in Qinghefang was dug out in time, and there was no time to send a message to them. In this way, Song Qingming and his men unexpectedly surrounded the bandits in Yingchao Ridge on the mountain.

Cheng Yilong and his three men, who were still discussing the specific distribution of the looted spiritual objects in the cave, suddenly heard a burst of shouting and killing outside, and quickly activated the mountain protection formation on the mountain to guard the spiritual mountain.

The people who had killed their way down the mountain saw that the other party had already activated the mountain protection formation, and they were not surprised, and they directly began to attack the mountain protection formation.

Knowing that there was also a mountain protection formation on the other side's sacred mountain, Song Qingming and others were not in a hurry. If they rashly entered it before destroying the formation, they might be trapped in the formation activated by the other side. No one wanted to take such a risk.

The mountain protection formation of Eagle Nest Ridge was only the second-level inferior, which was far inferior to the Qinghefang formation. Their plan was to besiege Eagle Nest Ridge first, and then attack the formation in turns every day to slowly consume the defense of this formation.

Eight foundation-building monks joined forces to take turns to lead the attack. It would take at most one month to break this formation. Although it would take a lot of time, it was also the most reliable way of attack. As long as they could hold on for about a month, Eagle Nest Ridge would definitely be broken.

In order to successfully solve this cancer that had harmed Qinghe County for decades, each family had also invested a lot of money this time. They had made plans before leaving and brought a lot of strategic materials such as spirit stones and spirit rice to come here.

Wu Xiang looked at the temporary camp at the foot of the mountain, which had been surrounded like an iron barrel, and couldn't help but panic. He was unlucky. He should have withdrawn to his own territory directly after the spiritual objects were distributed, but because there were too many things robbed this time, there were all kinds of things.

On the way, Cheng Yilong refused to waste time counting the spiritual objects and dividing them on the spot in order to hurry up. As a result, he took his brothers to Eagle Nest Ridge. As soon as they were about to divide the spiritual objects, the other party came to kill them. It seemed that they were not going to give up easily and came to kill them.

Now the outside was surrounded and there were eight foundation-building monks from the other side who took turns to attack the formation, which made him lose the courage to break out. Unless Cheng Yilong and the other two were willing to risk their lives to cooperate with him, he would not have a chance to escape from Eagle Nest Ridge directly.

As for Cheng Yilong and the other two, seeing the enemy outside, they certainly didn't want to lose Wu Xiang and the monks he brought. With them, they could at least hold out for a while longer. They must have figured this out clearly.

"Brother Wu, don't be so sad. I have sent a message to the Zhou brothers and Dalongshan nearby, asking them to come and help. When they come, the other side will definitely retreat. Don't worry, brother."

After only a few days of siege, Cheng Yilong saw that Wu Xiang was getting more and more panicked, so he quickly set up a table for him in the cave and invited him to drink and relax.

Hearing Cheng Yilong asking for help, Wu Xiang sighed and said, "They have been hanging around in Zhengguo for many years. I'm afraid they don't dare to come and offend Xiaoyao Sect. I'm afraid that my work is in vain."

"Alas! Brother Wu, don't say that. In order to ask them for help, I also paid a lot of price. This time I think they should be willing to come to this muddy water. Besides, my Eagle Nest Ridge is also impregnable. The other party can't break through the formation in two or three months. Haha, they want to wipe us out, but they are afraid that they can't afford to waste time with me."

"That's right. We have been besieged countless times in Eagle Nest Ridge over the years. You see, we are still fine. Why should we be afraid of them?"

Since Chen Zicong joined Eagle Nest Ridge, he has been smooth sailing with Cheng Yilong in the past few years. On the surface, he is still relatively calm, but he knows very well in his heart that if no one comes to help this time, the Eagle Nest Ridge mountain protection formation can only last for a month at most.

Days passed by, and soon half a month had passed. The mountain was still tightly besieged by many cultivators. Seeing that the mountain protection formation of Eagle Nest Ridge had been exhausted and was about to collapse, and still no reinforcements had arrived as Cheng Yilong had said, Wu Xiang had completely lost his patience and was already preparing to plan his own way out.

Bandit cultivators were different from demon cultivators. They all acted based on interests. The mastermind behind the attack on Qinghefang this time was Cheng Yilong and his group. He was just here to help out. Although he was also given several thousand spirit stones, Wu Xiang did not want to stay in Eagle Nest Ridge and serve as free cannon fodder for Cheng Yilong and his group for these spiritual objects.

In this way, taking advantage of the opportunity of rotating the guard formation, Wu Xiang contacted Lu Yuanfeng at the mountain, saying that they were willing to fight back internally to help them open the Eagle Nest Ridge formation, and only asked that they would not be held accountable afterwards.

Unexpectedly, before he could get a reply from here, Chen Zicong on the mountain had already discovered that something was wrong with Wu Xiang. Not long after he sent the message, Chen Zicong had already known about it and informed Cheng Yilong.

"Brother Wu, you and I are on the same boat now. Even if you want to jump off the boat, you can't capsize the whole boat. You should at least leave a way out for the brothers on the boat."

Wu Xiang had just returned to his residence after delivering the surrender letter, and found that Cheng Yilong had been waiting here for a long time. He immediately knew that what he had just done had been exposed.

Wu Xiang sighed softly and said, "Brother Dao, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to leave and find a way out. I have no intention of harming you. I hope Brother Yilong will not be provoked by others to wrongly accuse me."

"Really! It seems that I really wronged you. I understand that you want to find a way out, and I am willing to help you, but we also want to find a way out. I wonder if you are willing to help us too." Cheng Yilong asked with a normal smile.

Wu Xiang said with a wary look: "What's the way out? Tell me!"

After receiving Wu Xiang's surrender letter, Lu Yuanfeng discussed with everyone. Most people felt that they could agree to Wu Xiang's conditions. After all, they would consume a lot of spiritual stone resources every day if they kept attacking the formation on the mountain. If they had the opportunity to break through the formation in advance, they could also consider letting Wu Xiang and his group go. After all, the main target of revenge this time was the Eagle Nest Ridge bandits.
